Houses are counted from the Ascendant
The twelve houses (Bhavas) are counted from the rising sign at birth. Each house governs a set of life areas, from self and wealth in the first two to loss, rest and liberation in the twelfth. A planet in a house brings its own nature to those areas and also aspects other houses: every planet casts a full aspect on the seventh house from itself, and Mars, Jupiter and Saturn have special aspects as well.
